What should the USA do (feel free to explain).
Continue strong support for the state of Israel.
Continue support, but apply pressure for Israel to embrace and support a Palestinian state.
Adopt a more neutral stance to Israel. Limiting foreign aid etc.
Continue friendly relations with Israel, but stop active support and aid.
Treat Israel in the same fashion as we treated apartheid-era South Africa.
Declare for the Palestinians and back them in their fight against Israeli oppression.
Gah already you sick ^%#$^%$, Gah!

Adopt a more neutral stance .
All sides in the conflict are at fault , without a neutral approach any pressure towards a settlement will be towards a biased settlement .
A biased settlement (if possibe anyway) only builds into later problems .
It was the biased settlement in the first place that built the problem there is today .
Re: What should the USA do about Israel? (Poll)
Just what were doing #2 Support them and apply pressure for a Palestinian state although I think they want it , ,without pressure much as I know Ill catch flak for it.Its in their best interests.

Re: What should the USA do about Israel? (Poll)
I went with continue friendly relations but stop all aid-- at least until an agreement is reached with Palestine. There is no impetous for some of the fascists in control of Israel to make peace until we create one. The solution to the Palestine issue seems simple enough for man to comprehend--two nations of people of similar size claim the same land, so lets make two separate countries side by side. but no, religious nuts on both sides have to get involved and ruin the process for all their people. We must stop our blanket support militarily of Israel's brutal occupation which has driven the palestinians to desperate measures to continue resistance (suicide bombing).

I feel that the USA should adopt a more neutral stance towards Israel and urge them in accepting a Palestine State, and at the same time encouraging Hamas and other Arabian countries/forces in the area to accept Israel.

neutral stance
There are few things more annoying than some idiot who has never done anything trying to say definitively how something should be done.

Israel is a good proxy for what the USA would like to do in the region. Although I don't agree with the option, for the country full support is the way forward.

A more neutral stance - keep some of the aid on some conditions.
